Basketball Oops! Man Caught By Foot Is Rescued

A man had to be rescued by police and fire crews after becoming caught upside down by his foot from a basketball hoop.

Police were called to the 'slam dunce' at Cal Anderson Park in Seattle after receiving reports of a shirtless man with a hammer hanging from the hoop.

The video shows the man moving wildly, twirling his body in an attempt to free himself as around a dozen officers look on.

Eventually, a ladder is brought along by two firefighters to help him down, at which point he was swarmed by police officers.

Seattle Police Department later tweeted: "He may be arrested for property destruction, or at least goal-tending."

The incident followed May Day protests in the city.
